Description

  The present invention relates to a sanitary washing apparatus having a drying function for removing water droplets on a wet surface by blowing air and drying the surface.

  Various functions have been devised in a sanitary washing apparatus for washing a local part of a human body in order to realize washing according to user's preference. The user performed local cleaning using a sanitary cleaning device using various functions, and removed water droplets adhering to the local area using paper such as toilet paper. However, in recent years, a drying apparatus has been proposed as an alternative to paper such as toilet paper (see, for example, Patent Document 1). FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of a sanitary washing device provided with a conventional drying device. FIG. 14 is a schematic plan view of a nozzle of this conventional sanitary washing apparatus. 15 is a schematic sectional side view of this nozzle.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the sanitary washing device includes a toilet seat 2, a toilet lid 3, a main body case 4 of the sanitary washing device, a flush tank 5 (low tank), and a remote controller 7 disposed on the toilet 1. Has been.

  The main body case 4 has a hot air blowing device 6 that blows warm air toward the human body part, a washing water jet nozzle 8 that blows hot water toward the human body part, and pressurized air intermittently toward the washed human body part. And an air jet nozzle 9 for jetting out. Further, the cleaning water jet nozzle 8 and the air jet nozzle 9 are integrated to form the nozzle means 10, and the nozzle drive means A11 for moving the nozzle means 10 forward and backward and the nozzle drive means B12 for moving the nozzle means 10 in the left-right direction are provided. ing.

  When the user sits on the toilet seat 2 and performs a buttocks washing operation with the remote controller 7, the nozzle driving means A11 projects the nozzle means 10, and hot water is jetted from the washing water jet nozzle 8 toward the human body part. At this time, the cleaning position can be adjusted back and forth and left and right by the nozzle driving means A11 and the nozzle driving means B12.

  When the drying operation is performed after the cleaning, the hot air blowing device 6 is driven to blow the hot air, and pressurized air is jetted from the air jet nozzle 9 toward the human body part. At this time, the nozzle driving means A11 and the nozzle driving means B12 are driven to change the ejection position in the front-rear and left-right directions to effectively remove water droplets.

  Moreover, since the bidet nozzle 13 is provided in parallel with the nozzle means 10 and the bidet cleaning can be performed by a nozzle different from the buttocks cleaning, it can be used in a sanitary manner.

  However, in the above configuration, since the openings of the cleaning water jet nozzle 8 and the air jet nozzle 9 are both directed upward, dirt or the like scattered by the cleaning to the opening of the air jet nozzle 9 during the butt cleaning. There was a high possibility of adhesion.

  Further, since the bidet nozzle 13 is driven independently, the nozzle driving means A11 is separately required, so that there is a problem that the installation space is increased and the cost is increased.

As a method of solving the problem of nozzles having a plurality of jet nozzles, a nozzle device that configures and switches a plurality of jet nozzles to one nozzle has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). FIG. 16 is a schematic perspective view showing a nozzle device capable of switching a water discharge pattern, FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a combination pattern of jet nozzles of the nozzle device, and FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view showing an internal relationship between nozzle tips.

As shown in the figure, a plurality of cylindrical members 22g, 22g, 23g, which are rotatably disposed at the tip of the nozzle body 20g and are provided with different numbers of jet ports 21 on the outer peripheral wall, The water discharge pattern is switched by combining the number of the ejection ports 21g operating at 23g.
JP 2002-294835 A Japanese Patent No. 3515413

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, there is an advantage that a jet pattern according to preference can be selected not only by butt washing and bidet washing by one nozzle, and the jet outlet not used has an angle at which scattering is difficult to adhere, Since only a single flow path can be configured in the nozzle body, if cleaning water flows through this flow path, a nozzle dedicated to cleaning water is obtained. For this reason, in this configuration, since the ejection of washing water and the ejection of air cannot coexist, a separate air ejection nozzle is required when performing the air ejection. In addition, when high pressure air is made to flow through this nozzle to try to eject air, it is necessary to drain all the water remaining in the nozzle, and it is extremely difficult to completely drain water.

  As described above, the conventional configuration has a problem that it is difficult to switch the nozzles by rotation by integrating the cleaning water jet nozzle and the air jet nozzle.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a sanitary washing apparatus having a drying function that is hygienic and can dry a surface to be dried in a short time.

In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, a sanitary washing device of the present invention has a washing water jet port for jetting cleaning water to a human body local part and an air jet port for jetting pressurized air around the human body local part. A nozzle,
Drive means for driving the nozzle forward / backward from a storage position to a use position, and adding a left / right rotation drive to the forward / backward drive so that the washing water and pressurized air can be ejected by moving to any predetermined position around the human body part. And
The washing water outlet and the air outlet are arranged at different angles on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the nozzle, and when switching the outlet, the outlet used by the driving means is set to a predetermined outlet direction. To change.

  According to the present invention, the cleaning water jet and the air jet are arranged at different angles on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the nozzle, and the nozzle angle of the jet used is adjusted to the predetermined jet direction. With one nozzle, it is possible to switch between the ejection of washing water and the ejection of air by changing the angle.

  Further, since the jet ports other than the jet port to be used are set in a direction different from the jet direction, it is hygienic because the configuration is such that washing water or sewage scattered by the jet of air is difficult to adhere.

The first invention is
A nozzle having at least one washing water jet for ejecting washing water to a human body local part, and at least one air jet for jetting pressurized air around the human body local part;
A main body including a functional unit including the nozzle;
The nozzle is moved forward and backward from the storage position of the main body to the use position, and a left-right rotational drive is added to the forward / backward drive so that the cleaning water and pressurized air can be moved to a predetermined position around the human body part and ejected. Driving means,
The washing water outlet and the air outlet are arranged at different angles on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the nozzle, and when the outlet is switched, the outlet used by the driving means is set at a nozzle angle in the ejection direction at a predetermined position. Is to change.

This allows one nozzle to easily and quickly switch between washing water ejection and air ejection.
Further, since the jet ports other than the jet port to be used are set in a direction different from the jet direction, the sewage or the filth scattered by the jet of cleaning water or air is less likely to be attached, which is sanitary.

  In the second invention, in particular, the cleaning water outlet of the nozzle of the first invention is constituted by two cleaning water outlets for the first cleaning and the second cleaning, and the air outlet and the first Each of the first and second cleaning water outlets for cleaning is arranged at different angles on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the nozzle, and the air outlet is used for the first and second cleaning water for cleaning. It is arranged between the spout.

  In order to blow off the water droplets adhering to the periphery of the human body part by blowing out the pressurized air from the air outlet, the nozzle is moved forward and backward while blowing out the pressurized air and driven to rotate left and right. It is necessary to blow pressurized air widely around.

  Therefore, the rotation angle required for the air ejection of the nozzle is determined by the angle of ejecting left and right around the air ejection port.

  Therefore, if the first cleaning water outlet and the second cleaning water outlet are arranged on the left and right with the air outlet as the center, the rotation angle required for switching the outlet is necessary for the air ejection. Therefore, the required rotational drive range can be minimized.

The third invention is particularly the first invention,
A nozzle cover that covers the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle and is rotatably provided;
Rotation suppression means for suppressing rotation of the nozzle cover, and
The nozzle cover has one opening facing the washing water outlet and the air outlet of the nozzle,
When switching the ejection port, the nozzle angle is changed so that the ejection port used by the drive unit and the opening of the nozzle cover substantially coincide with each other while the rotation of the nozzle cover is stopped by the rotation suppression unit. .

  Since the rotation of the nozzle cover can be stopped by the rotation restraining means, the relative angle between the nozzle and the nozzle cover is changed by simply rotating the nozzle to the left and right by the driving means, and the nozzle outlet and the nozzle cover can be easily used. The opening can be aligned.

  In addition, since only the used outlet is desired from the opening of the nozzle cover among the plurality of outlets, even if the jet flow from the used outlet bounces off at the human body part, the unused outlet is the nozzle. It is covered with a cover, and even if sewage or filth is scattered by the jet, it does not adhere and is hygienic.

In particular, the fourth invention is the third invention,
Angle holding means for holding a relative angle between the nozzle and the nozzle cover at a predetermined angle;
The angle holding means acts at an angle at which the cleaning water outlet and the air outlet used by the nozzle coincide with the opening of the nozzle cover.

  This is because the relative angle can be maintained in a state in which the nozzle outlet and the opening of the nozzle cover coincide with each other. For example, even if the nozzle angle is quickly rotated left and right while jetting pressurized air from the air outlet, the nozzle cover The opening is held at the position of the air outlet and does not shift.

The fifth invention provides the rotation suppressing means of the third invention,
In the state where the nozzle is moved to the storage position of the main body, the rotation of the nozzle cover is limited.

  This restricts the rotation of the nozzle cover at the nozzle storage position and performs the switching operation of the ejection port, so that the switching operation does not affect the usage state of the ejection port. Therefore, in a situation where cleaning water or pressurized air is being ejected from the ejection port, there is no possibility that the nozzle cover is erroneously limited and the ejection port and the opening of the nozzle cover are not shifted.

In the sixth invention, in particular, the driving means according to any one of the first to fifth inventions has a contact range of a jet ejected from the air ejecting means port, which is an abbreviation of the surface to be dried around the local body part. The nozzle is driven so as to be moved and swept sequentially over the entire surface.

  In this method, driving is performed so that even a small number of air jets are sequentially swept, whereby water droplets adhering to a wide range of surfaces to be dried can be blown out sequentially, and finally the water adhering to the entire surface to be dried can be blown off.

In the seventh invention, in particular, the driving means of the sixth invention is blown away while collecting water droplets adhering to the surface to be dried while being collected at the center of the surface to be dried by the jet ejected from the air ejection means port. In addition, the jet flow from the air outlet is swept and moved.

  Since even a small air jet can blow off water droplets adhering to a wide range of surfaces to be dried without diffusing, the surface to be dried can be efficiently dried in a short time without increasing the size of the drying apparatus.

  Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

  A nozzle cover 28 that covers the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 20 and is provided rotatably is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the nozzle 20, and one opening facing the cleaning water outlets 22, 23 and the air outlet 21 of the nozzle 20. A portion 29 is provided. Therefore, by changing the relative angle between the nozzle 20 and the nozzle cover 28, the desired outlet can be switched to the opening 29.

  FIG. 6C shows a case where the opening 29 and the air jet 21 are matched, and FIG. 6D shows a case where the opening 29 and the first washing water jet 22 are matched, as shown in FIG. ) Shows a case where the opening 29 and the second washing water outlet 23 are matched. In this way, the outlet can be easily switched according to the operation mode.

  Since the first washing water jet port 22 synthesizes and jets the swirl flow from the water flow path a25 to the parallel flow from the water flow path b26, by adjusting the ratio between the parallel flow and the swirl flow The spread and strength of the jet can be changed.

  The nozzle cover 28 is made of a pipe-like stainless metal, so that bacterial growth is suppressed and hygiene can be improved.

  Pressurized air from the air pump 51 is connected to the air inlet 70 so as to be supplied to the air flow path 24 from an air tube (not shown), and the wash water from the switching valve 32 is a water tube (not shown). Is connected to the water inlet 72 so as to be supplied to the water flow path b26. Similarly, the water flow path a25 and the water flow path c27 also have a water inlet (not shown) and are connected to a water tube (not shown). The air tube and the water tube are made of a soft material such as rubber or elastomer because a twisting or bending force acts when the nozzle 20 is rotated or driven back and forth.

  Next, a configuration for setting the angles of the nozzle cover 28 and the nozzle 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 7A is a front view showing the configuration of the driving means 52, FIG. 7B is a partial cross-sectional view (cross-sectional view AA), and FIG. 7C is another partial cross-sectional view (cross-sectional view BB).

  The stopper a71 is disposed at the rear part of the base 55, and when the nozzle moves to the final end of the front-rear drive and enters the retracted state, the arm 73 of the nozzle cover 28 is accommodated, and the rotation of the nozzle cover 28 is restricted. If the nozzle 20 is rotationally driven in this state, the relative angle between the nozzle 20 and the nozzle cover 28 can be changed. The stoppers a71 are provided on both the left and right sides of the nozzle 20, and the angle can be changed from any direction.

  The stoppers b72s are arranged at two positions on the left and right sides of the nozzle holder 58, and not only limit the rotation range of the nozzle cover 28 but also limit the rotation angle of the nozzle 20. This sets the rotation range of the nozzle 20 and the nozzle cover 28 to be the same range. The relative angle between the nozzle 20 and the nozzle cover 28 can also be changed by further rotating the nozzle 20 in a state where the arm 73 is in contact with the stopper b72s.

  FIG. 7C shows an angle holding unit 74 that holds the relative angle between the nozzle 20 and the nozzle cover 28 at a predetermined angle. The angle holding means 74 includes a springy convex portion 75 formed on the nozzle cover 28 and three concave portions 76a, 76b and 76c provided on the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 20, and one portion of the convex portion 75 and the concave portion is formed. Fits to hold the angle.

  Hereinafter, the control operation in the control unit 150 will be described with reference to FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a time chart of nozzle angle setting in “wet washing”, “bidet” and “drying” operations by the control unit 150, and FIG. 9 is a time chart of control operations in “wet washing” and “drying” operations by the control unit 150. FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the operating states of “wet washing” and “drying”. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are schematic diagrams showing the movement pattern of the jet contact area E on the surface to be dried in the “dry” operation state.

  As shown in FIG. 8, at the time of T0 when the operation has not been performed yet, the front-rear direction of the nozzle 20 is arranged at the rear end storage position. The left and right direction of the nozzle 20 is set at an angle to a detection position of a position sensor (not shown) that detects the center position provided in the swinging means 70. This angle is a central angle, and the air outlet 21 of the nozzle 20 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 are set to coincide with each other. That is, the nozzle 20 is set to “dry”.

  At T1 when the user depresses the butt switch 312 of the remote control device 300, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move to a position where the arm 73 and the stopper a71 do not interfere (approximately 10 mm forward).

  Next, at T2, the left / right drive motor 54 is rotated to change the angle to the left end angle (−90 °) at which the nozzle 20 hits the stopper b72s. At T3, the front-rear drive motor 53 is driven to the storage position (about 10 mm rearward), and the arm 73 is moved so as to fit into the stopper a71. By this operation, the nozzle cover 28 is held at an angle by the stopper a71.

Next, at T4, the left and right drive motor 54 is rotated, and the nozzle 20 is rotated rightward (about + 90 °) so that the first washing water jet port 22 of the nozzle 20 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 are aligned. ). Here, when the nozzle 20 is rotated, the relative angle with the nozzle cover 28 in which the angle is maintained changes, and the rotation angle of the nozzle 20 with respect to the nozzle cover 28 can be changed.

  At T5, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated again to move to a position where the arm 73 and the stopper a71 do not interfere (approximately 10 mm forward). Then, at T6, the left and right drive motor 54 is rotated to rotate the nozzle 20 to the right so that the first washing water jet 22 of the nozzle 20 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 face upward (about +90). °). At T7, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move the nozzle to the storage position (backward about 10 mm). Then, the operation is completed at T8.

  By the operations from T1 to T8 described above, the angle of the first washing water ejection port 22 for washing with the butt washing can be matched with the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28, and the ejection direction can be set upward.

  Next, an operation when the user presses the bidet switch 313 of the remote operation device 300 will be described. In this case as well, when the operation is not yet performed, the front-rear direction of the nozzle 20 is disposed at the storage position at the rear end, and the left-right direction of the nozzle 20 is angled with respect to the center position provided on the swinging means 70. It is assumed that it is set.

  At T11, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move to a position where the arm 73 and the stopper a71 do not interfere with each other (about 10 mm forward). At T12, the left / right drive motor 54 is rotated, and the right end angle at which the nozzle 20 hits the stopper b72s. Change the angle to (+ 90 °). In T13, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to the storage position (about 10 mm rearward), the arm 73 is moved so as to be fitted into the stopper a71, and the nozzle cover 28 is held by the stopper a71.

  Next, at T14, the left and right drive motor 54 is rotated, and the nozzle 20 is rotated to the left so that the second washing water jet port 23 of the nozzle 20 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 coincide with each other (about −90). °). At T15, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated again to move to a position where the arm 73 and the stopper a71 do not interfere with each other (about 10 mm forward), and at T16, the left / right drive motor 54 is rotated to The nozzle 20 is rotated leftward (about −90 °) so that the outlet 23 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 face upward. At T17, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move the nozzle to the storage position (about 10 mm rearward). Then, the operation is completed at T18.

  By the operations from T11 to T18 described above, the angle of the second cleaning water jet outlet 23 for bidet can be matched with the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28, and the jet direction can be set upward.

  Next, an operation when the user presses the drying switch 314 of the remote control device 300 will be described. Also in this case, when the operation is not yet performed, the front-rear direction of the nozzle 20 is disposed at the rear end storage position, and the left-right direction of the nozzle 20 is set to an angle at the center position provided in the swinging means 70. It shall be. However, the direction of the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 is undetermined.

At T21, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move to a position where the arm 73 and the stopper a71 do not interfere with each other (about 10 mm forward), and at T22, the left / right drive motor 54 is rotated, so Change the angle to (+ 90 °). If the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 coincides with the first washing water jet outlet 22 at the time T22, the arm 73 hits the stopper b72s, and the relative angle between the nozzle cover 28 and the nozzle 20 changes, and the air jet The angle changes until the outlet 21 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 coincide.

  Next, at T23, the left and right drive motor 54 is reversed, and the angle is changed to the left end angle (−180 °) at which the nozzle 20 hits the stopper b72s on the opposite side. If the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 and the second washing water outlet 23 coincide with each other at the time T23, the arm 73 hits the stopper b72s on the opposite side, and the relative angle of the nozzle cover 28 and the nozzle 20 changes. The angle changes until the air outlet 21 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 coincide.

As described above, the opening 29 and the air outlet 21 coincide with each other regardless of the direction in which the nozzle faces the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28.
Then, at T24, the left and right drive motor 54 is reversed again and rotated so that the air outlet 21 and the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 face upward (about + 90 °). At T25, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to move the nozzle to the storage position (about 10 mm rearward). Then, the operation is completed at T26.

  By the operations from T21 to T26 described above, the angle of the air outlet 21 can be matched with the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28, and the ejection direction can be set upward.

  Next, the control operation from the butt washing to the drying operation will be described.

  The operation mode of “drying” shown in FIG. 9 is a “quick drying operation” in a state in which the drying mode switch 320a in FIG. 2 is selected, and the hot air temperature adjustment switch 340 is a time chart in a state in which “medium” is set. is there. This “rapid drying operation” is performed in the first drying operation in which hot air in the drying function is attracted to the surface to be dried while being attracted by pressurized air.

  As shown in FIG. 9, at the time T0 when the operation has not been performed yet, the front-rear direction of the nozzle 20 is disposed at the rear end storage position. The left and right direction of the nozzle 20 is set at an angle to a detection position of a position sensor (not shown) that detects the center position provided in the swinging means 70.

  At T1 when the user depresses the butt switch 312 of the remote control device 300, the angle of the first cleaning water jet port 22 for cleaning the butt is matched with the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 as described in FIG. The ejection direction is set upward. Here, this operation is omitted. At the same time, when the on-off valve 34 opens and tap water flows into the hot water heating means 31 and a built-in flow sensor (not shown) detects the water flow, energization of the hot water heating means 31 is started, and the heated hot water is Start supplying. At this time, since the nozzle 20 is in the storage position, the unwarmed hot water ejected from the first washing water ejection port 21 hits the inner surface of the guide portion 57 and is discharged into the toilet 600.

  At the time T2 when the temperature of the hot water from the hot water heating means 31 reaches a predetermined temperature (for example, 36 ° C.), the hot water heating means 31 and the on-off valve 34 are stopped and the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to place the nozzle 20 in the center position. Advance (for example, 100 mm forward). At T3, the operation of the hot water heating means 31 and the on-off valve 34 is restarted, and the cleaning water is jetted onto the surface to be cleaned of the user.

  Electric power control to the hot water heating means 31 is performed using known PID or FF control so that the temperature detected by a temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the temperature of the hot water becomes a set temperature (for example, 40 ° C.). The flow rate of the washing water is set to a user's favorite amount by adjusting the valve opening degree of the switching valve 32. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the wet state of the surface to be cleaned in this butt cleaning is not only the central portion where the cleaning water directly hits but also the water droplets flow to wet the peripheral portion.

  At the time T4 in FIG. 6 when the butt washing is finished and the user presses down the stop switch 311 of the remote control device 300, the hot water heating means 31 and the on-off valve 34 are stopped, and the washing water jet from the washing nozzle portion 33 is stopped. At the same time, the front and rear drive motor 53 is reversed to move the cleaning nozzle 33 back to the storage position, and the cleaning operation is completed.

  In the present embodiment, the operation in the buttocks cleaning has been described, but the basic case is the same when the bidet cleaning for pressing the bidet switch 313 of the remote operation device 300 is pressed. However, in the case of bidet cleaning, the cleaning nozzle position and flow rate setting corresponding to the bidet are changed.

  Next, when the user depresses the drying switch 314 of the remote control device 300 at T6, the angle of the air outlet 21 coincides with the opening 29 of the nozzle cover 28 as described with reference to FIG. Set to. Here, this operation is omitted. The heater 43 is energized and the temperature of the heater itself starts to rise. Thus, by energizing the heater 43 before the air fan 41 is operated, the heater is heated in a state where there is little heat dissipation, so the heater temperature can be increased at high speed.

  At the same time, the air pump 51 is operated for a short time (for example, 1 second), and the pressurized air is ejected from the air outlet 21 of the nozzle 20 for a moment. This operation blows off water droplets adhering to the surface of the nozzle 20 in a state where the nozzle 20 is in the storage position, thereby preventing re-adhesion of the water droplets to the user.

  At T7, the operation of the air fan 41 is started, and hot air is blown out from the hot air outlet 42. Since the hot air temperature blown out passes through the heated heater 43, the hot air temperature is high from the beginning. And it sets so that hot air of high temperature (for example, 60 degreeC) may be blown off controlled by the above-mentioned heater heating amount. And it blows with respect to the substantially whole surface of the to-be-dried surface which is a user's washing | cleaning surface from the warm air jet nozzle 42. FIG.

  Thereafter, the front / rear drive motor 53 is operated to advance the nozzle 20 to the most advanced position (for example, 150 mm forward), while the left / right drive motor 54 is operated to change the left / right angle of the nozzle 20 to the right end angle (for example + 50 °). To do.

  At T8, the operation of the air pump 51 is started, and the injection of pressurized air from the air outlet 21 to the surface to be dried is started.

  In the first step from T8 to T9, the operation direction and operation speed of the left and right drive motors 54 and the front and rear drive motors 53 of the drive means 52 are controlled, and the front and rear drive of the nozzle 20 is within a predetermined range (for example, 50 mm to 150 mm forward) At the same time, the left and right angles of the nozzle 20 are slowly driven from the right end angle toward the center angle from the right end angle to a predetermined angle on the right side (for example, + 50 ° to + 20 °). In the operation of the first step, the air jet from the nozzle 20 gradually approaches the center while moving at a high speed in the front-rear direction from a predetermined position on the right side of the surface to be dried of the user.

  Therefore, as shown in the operation pattern P1 of FIG. 11, the air jet contact area E gradually moves toward the center G while periodically moving at high speed in the tangential direction of the right end of the surface F to be dried. Therefore, the zigzag movement trajectory is drawn as shown in the figure. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), since the ejection of the pressurized air starts from the outside sufficiently outside the ejection range of the washing water, the water droplets spreading and adhering to the right side of the surface to be dried Can be blown away while collecting.

  At T9 in FIG. 9, the air pump 51 is temporarily stopped, and the left-right angle of the nozzle 20 is changed to the left end angle (for example, −50 °). Then, at T10, the operation of the air pump 51 is resumed and the ejection of pressurized air is started.

  Then, in the second step from T10 to T11, the front-rear drive of the nozzle 20 is reciprocated at a high speed within a predetermined range (for example, 50 mm to 150 mm forward) as in the first step, and at the same time the left-right angle of the nozzle 20 is changed from the left end angle. It is slowly driven toward the central angle from the left-side predetermined angle (for example, −50 ° to −20 °). In the operation of the second step, the air jet from the nozzle 20 gradually moves toward and approaches the central portion while periodically moving at a high speed in the front-rear direction from a predetermined distance on the left side of the surface to be dried of the user. Come.

  Therefore, as shown in the operation pattern P2 in FIG. 11, the contact area E of the air jet gradually moves toward the center G while periodically moving in the tangential direction of the left end of the surface F to be dried. Therefore, a zigzag movement trajectory is drawn as shown in the figure. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10C, water droplets spreading and adhering to the left side of the surface to be dried can be blown off while being collected in the central portion direction.

  The water droplets adhering to the surface to be cleaned by the first step and the second step described above remain only around the center.

  Since the buttock of the human body is formed with convex portions on both the left and right sides with respect to the washing center of the anus and penis, both the left and right sides are lower than the washing center when sitting on the toilet seat.

  Therefore, the washing water tends to wet and spread from side to side, and when an air jet is first applied to the center during drying, the attached water droplets spread greatly to the left and right, and the wet area increases. As described above, since the first step and the second step are blown away while preventing water droplets on the surface to be cleaned from spreading to the left and right, efficient drying can be performed.

  At the end time T11 of the second step, the nozzle 20 is advanced to the most advanced position. Then, in the third step from T11 to T12, while the nozzle 20 is driven back and forth slowly from the most advanced position toward the center, the left and right angles of the nozzle 20 are reciprocated at high speed from the right end angle to the left end angle. In the operation of the third step, the air jet from the nozzle 20 gradually moves closer to the center from a predetermined front position toward the rear while moving at high speed in the left-right direction on the surface to be dried. .

  Therefore, as shown in the operation pattern P3 of FIG. 12, the contact area E of the air jet gradually innovates toward the center G while performing periodic movement that reciprocates at high speed in the tangential direction of the tip of the surface F to be dried. Since it moves, a zigzag movement trajectory is drawn as shown in the figure. As a result, water droplets remaining in front of the center portion G of the surface to be dried can be blown away while being collected in the direction of the center portion G.

  At T12, the air pump 51 is temporarily stopped, and the position of the nozzle 20 in the front-rear direction is moved to a rear predetermined position (for example, 50 mm forward). Then, at T13, the operation of the air pump 51 is resumed and the ejection of pressurized air is started.

  Then, in a fourth step from T13 to T14, the nozzle 20 is moved back and forth at a high speed from the right end angle to the left end angle at the same time while slowly moving the nozzle 20 forward and backward from the rear predetermined position toward the center. In the operation of the fourth step, the air jet from the nozzle 20 gradually moves closer to the center from a predetermined distance on the rear side while moving at high speed in the left-right direction on the surface to be dried. .

  Therefore, as shown in the operation pattern P4 of FIG. 12, the contact range E of the air jet gradually moves toward the center portion G while periodically moving in a tangential direction at the rear end of the surface F to be dried. Since it moves gradually, a zigzag movement trajectory is drawn as shown in the figure. As a result, water droplets remaining behind the central portion G of the surface to be dried can be blown away while being collected in the central portion G direction.

  The water droplets remaining on the surface to be dried by the above first to fourth steps are only the central portion.

  The action on water droplets adhering to the surface to be dried in the first to fourth steps will be described. Since the driving direction of the air jet to the surface to be dried during the operation of each step is sufficiently faster than the moving speed toward the center, the moving speed in the tangential direction is sufficiently faster with respect to the center. The air flow direction which spreads by colliding with the surface to be dried increases the flow component in the direction perpendicular to the substantially tangential direction.

  Accordingly, the water droplets adhering between the air jet driven in the substantially tangential direction and the central portion are pushed by the air flow perpendicular to the tangential direction and move in the central portion direction. And since an air jet is gradually approached to a center part, it gathers in the center part direction. By performing this movement from the four directions of right, left, front, and rear in the first to fourth steps, the water droplets gather at the center. Thus, the first to fourth steps are steps for collecting water droplets adhering to the surface to be dried at the center of the surface to be dried.

  At T14, the air pump 51 is stopped again, and the front-rear direction position of the nozzle 20 is moved to a predetermined front position (for example, 130 mm forward). Then, at T15, the operation of the air pump 51 is restarted and the ejection of pressurized air is started.

  Then, in the fifth step from T15 to T16, the front-rear drive of the nozzle 20 starts to retreat from a predetermined position in the front, passes through the center, and slowly moves to a predetermined distance behind the center (for example, 50 mm forward). And retreat. At the same time, the left and right angles of the nozzle 20 are reciprocated at high speed from the right end angle to the left end angle. The operation of the fifth step is as follows. The air jet from the nozzle 20 gradually moves backward from a predetermined position in the forward direction while periodically moving in a horizontal direction on the surface to be dried. It approaches the central part, and further moves gradually through the central part to a predetermined position behind it.

  Therefore, since the position where the air jet strikes the surface to be dried gradually moves from the front through the center and rearward, the water droplets remaining at the center of the surface to be dried can be completely blown away. That is, the fifth step is a process of blowing off the collected water droplets.

  At T16, the air pump 51 is stopped and the front-rear direction of the nozzle 20 is moved to the storage position at the rear end. The left-right direction of the nozzle 20 is returned to the center angle.

  When the drying is finished and the user presses the stop switch 311 of the remote operation device 300, the operation of the heater 43 is stopped at T17.

  Then, by stopping the air fan 41 at T18, the residual heat of the heater 43 is reduced and the drying operation is completed.

  As mentioned above, weir cleaning, bidet and drying are configured with a single nozzle and the drive means is also shared, so the nozzle installation area can be reduced and the number of parts can be reduced, saving space and reducing costs. Can be realized.

Furthermore, since the pressurized air for drying is ejected from a single nozzle hole, the flow velocity of the air jet can be increased even at a low flow rate, and high drying performance can be obtained even with a small capacity air pump. That is, since the flow velocity of the jet is large, the energy for peeling off the water droplet when the jet hits the water droplet attached to the surface to be dried increases, so that the water droplet can be efficiently blown off. In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the washing water ejection position is adjusted by the front, back, left, and right operation switches of the operating means has been described. However, if the same position adjustment is performed when the pressurized air is ejected, the position of the pressurized air You can also make adjustments.

  Further, in this embodiment, cleaning and drying are configured by a single cylinder and the driving means is shared, but these may be configured by independent nozzles and driving means, respectively.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flow rate of the pressurized air is set to 20 to 50 m / s. However, in order to obtain the effect of blowing water droplets, the minimum speed is 10 m / s or more, and the size of the jet contact area is set. The size of the nozzle holes and the number of nozzle holes as elements must be selected in consideration of the capacity of the air pump and the flow rate of the pressurized air.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first step to the fifth step are sequentially executed, but each step may be repeatedly executed or the order of each step may be changed. Further, the first and second steps may be omitted, and the third and fourth steps may be omitted.

  In this embodiment, the heater temperature is increased by energizing the heater before starting the air fan at the start of the drying operation, so that the heater temperature rises at a higher speed. The heater temperature may be increased at a higher speed by providing a soft start function for gradually increasing the air volume.

  As described above, the air ejection means according to the present invention and the sanitary washing apparatus provided with the air blowing means efficiently blow off water droplets and dry even with a small amount of air, so that they get wet not only in the sanitary washing apparatus but also in showers and hand washing It can also be applied to dry the body. Further, the present invention can be applied to water drop removal and drying applications in washing machines such as dishwashers, car wash machines, and parts washing machines.
